Crossroads by Stan Himdmarsh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This book is a collection of short reflections on everyday life. Like a modern St. Francis, Stan Hindmarsh has a great delight and interest in the small details of life. As he reflects on his encounters with nature, family members, and friends, he finds meaning, personal significance, and a profoundly deep yet simple purpose in it all. As he says, “I continue to believe that God has built loving systems into His creation that can teach us how to live." These stories are meant to be read as conversations over a cup of coffee, They were inspired as he reflected on his surroundings—a cabin in British Columbia’s Cariboo region, a condo in North Vancouver, his rural home in Abbotsford, B. C., friendships developed within Hallmark Retirement Communities, and trips to Guatemala—and as God seemed to speak to him through them. Trinity Western University President Bob Kuhn, who wrote the Introduction to this book, states, “Like life, the stories told here are ordinary and inspiring at the same time. They encompass all of life from the mundane to the mystical, the sacred to the silly. This book is not about Stan or his life, as interesting as they are. It is not about events or the author’s perceptions, as interesting and insightful as they are. It is about life, all muddled together, full of mistakes and mishaps, fear and boredom, moments of breath-stopping exhilaration and moments of heart-numbing hopelessness." | Crossroads by Stan Himdmarsh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
